Fibrin degradation products are primarily used to diagnose which condition?
Explanation
Fibrin degradation products (FDPs) are fragments produced when fibrin clots are broken down in the body. Elevated levels of FDPs are indicative of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), a condition characterized by widespread clotting and bleeding. They are not typically used to diagnose hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, or thrombasthenia.
